In Carson City the papers and people
are agdtating the matter OF the resump-
ton of excavation at the state prison
quarry where are found so many tracks
of elephants, tiger, deer, birds and I'M
known animals and creatures that lived
when the world was young. Ii IS pro-
posed to follow on the line pursued by the
majority of the tracks, which seem TO
tend 10 a special point of attraction rms
point may have been mineral and me
dicinal spring, the water of which pos
sessed peculiar qualities or flavor. 1t has
been observed at the Bartlett springs, IN
California, and at mineral springs in
many countries, that doves and
many other birds flock in from
great distances to drink of the
waters. Also, it is said, that in
the early days deer and other wild ami
mails came from all the surrounding coun-
try to drink at the Bartlett springs and at
other springs of the Golden state that
were strongly favored with minerals.
Thus if the Carsonites find nothing else, a
very valuable medicinal spring may be
discovered. Though the superintendent
strata TO be removed aggregate no great
thickness, the first experimental work
might be cheapened by running broad
and low tunnel or gallery following the
line OF TRICKS MADE Dy one OF the eie-
plants, or those of the creature sup
posed to have been a human being
Of the prehistoric period-a Pacific
coast pioneer, who was scouting about
the country. There is no danger
of going astray in this work. The
tracks are SO close together and in such a
straight line that they cannot be lost.
Every track shows that the creature who
made it was abroad on important BUSH
ness.-Virginia New Enterprise.

EnveIoped by a Blanket Fish.

few evenings since Mr.. Jefferson was
out bathing in the lake when something
suddenly wrapped about him like a wet
blanket. He was close to shore and got
there pretty lively. When he climbed up
the wharf the blanket, as it appeared to
be, was all wrapped about him in queer
way. He rushed into the rear of the
saloon, where there was light, and was
Mortified to discover that the thing which
was wrapped around him was alive. 1t
held on with terrible suction, and re-
quired several men to get IT off. A scien-
fist who was stopping at the hotel pro-
nounced it an elactys cacynthius, or what
is vulgarly known as the blanket fish 1t
frequents the waters of the Polar sea, and
is only occasionally found in fresh water,
except deep, cold lakes, and generally stays
near the bottom. 1t is sometimes found
in the Pacific ocean as low as the thirty
fifth parallel 1t wraps around its victim
and by impeding the motions of its limbs
causes it TO drown
1t is dark brown in color, with black
speeks, and weighs about twenty-five
pounds When stretched out on the wharf
il was about six feet long by five broad,
and not over an inch thick. 1t was an OBJ
ject of curiosity all day. Mr.. Emery, the
stage driver, says he saw Jefferson when
he came out of the water, and thought he
was wrapped up in blanket This is the

An Unsuccessful Attempt.

the attempt of the dudes to introduce the
style of wearing white cuffs and collars
with colored shirts has not been success
full. One shirt with broad scarlet bands
and another with bright blue polka dots
have been worn ON the avenue with white
collars, presumably to advertise the style;
but the repeated inquiry: 'Why don't you
get collars to match your shirtY' and the
undisguised suspicion that old white col
lars We're being utilized by the wearers
proved fatal 10 the innovation. A style
more likely to he adopted is that displayed
by Fred May, who has shirt, collars, cuffs
and waistcoats of the same patterns of
heavy linen or marseilles. This is expen-
sive, looks cool and is vastly becoming.
